But the real story is the role and impact on the unsungheroes the Sherpas.Climb On!AlanArnette is a speaker, Mountaineer and Alzheimers Advocate. You can read more on his site.Explorer Eric Larsen, who aims to be part of the first expedition to travel to Mount Everest, the North Pole, and the South Pole in one year to draw attention to climate change, is steadily logging in the miles as he heads for the South Pole.
Fast forward to today, Jaeger LeCoultre is reviving the Geophysic tradition by sponsoring three world-class mountaineers in an replica Breitling A39362-F5- Men's watch effort to scale a totally virgin peak, now labeled "Antoine LeCoultre's Peak".The three climbers will of course be wearing JLC timepieces, the first of which is a Master Compressor Extreme Lab, the second is an original 1958 Geophysic Chronometer, and the third will be announced at SIHH 2010.The peak is in the Himalayas and sits at 6589 meters that requires an extremely delicate approach.Luckily there over 20 ascensions of Mt Everest between the three of them, and more than a few climbs of K2 sans-Oxygen.
While all of the images available on JLC's replica Breitling Windrider Chronomat website show the mountaineers wearing the Extreme Lab, they claim the original 1958 Geophysic is involved, and we'll take them at their word.You can even follow the team along their hike up the mountain at a dedicated JLC Geophysic Expedition portal.So what if you want to buy an original Geophysic Chronometer, just like the one worn UNDER the North Pole and now up LeCoultre's peak? Luckily our friends at Antiquorum have one for sale in the upcoming 35th anniversary sale.
